It would be a good night, though the hot spring had vibrant red water, it was very refreshing and soothing. She would of met Princess Snake there, but otherwise a pleasant night.
The next morning they would all meet in the lobby and be ready to board the Nimbus and finish the journey!
"How was your night?"

She definitely didn’t appreciate this kind of treatment when she was younger. She enjoyed the baths and the spa and the sleep.
She nodded. “I don’t think I really remember the last time I slept well enough like that.”

Yagi would help the duo up onto the Nimbus like an attendant helping the rich into a limousine. Hopping up himself the Nimbus would take off before at about the halfway point they would pass a massive Japanese style castle.
"That is Castle Snake. Since the inception of Snake Way it has stood. So about as long as the Heavens have existed so too has Castle Snake. One of my ancestors was the First to rule and lead our people, though we were under the command of Lord North, we had to deal with the unruly Oni at the time for hundreds of years. As in the early days we fought over who would devour the souls of the wicked. Very tumultuous time period for everyone. The current system works much better and the castle is now more of a banquet and party destination than a fortress to prevent Oni from invading the villages of Snake Way or even North Kai's planet."
Yagi would scratch the back his head and laugh.

She allowed Yagi to help her it was not often she was offered a hand. She didn’t really think much on it but realizing it after the fact she felt it was really nice to be treated kindly.
When they stopped to talk about the Castle they approached she scooted to the edge of the nimbus to get a better look. Her legs hung off the side as she looked at its architecture and her eyes widened and her mouth parted her lips in awe.
She turned her head sharply at Princess Snake. “I would love a tour when we come back from this. Something this Historic, I’d like to know about some of the battles that were fought here…”
The saw her face come to a shock with wider eyes and parted lips as she inhaled sharply. She paused a moment and clapped her hands in a prayer.
“My apologies and I pass on some Big respect to those who died fighting for their cause.” She said out loud and held her hands to give a bit of a moment of silence. Her parents both would have knuckled her in the head for acting like such a tourist.
“I can better see it must have been difficult for you all in the ages past… the fortunate foundation that has been build today has quite a bit of weight on your shoulders and on the hearts of those who remember it still… those who remember who were lost. The fact you can use this ground as a means to create better times is a reward and a testament to your resilience.” She smiled sheepishly. “That’s why I got so excited suddenly, it’s like looking at it now and imagining all the walls had seen it’s like it finally gets to relax.”
She felt a little embarrassed about both her outburst and the fact she suddenly put a personification of life to the fortress. But that was something she did often. In a way to her she felt many points in life had a life even if it’s an unintelligible one.

Princess Snake raises a hand and chuckles hiding her teeth.
"How intuitive, philosophical and interesting. Yes, politically I am married to Yemma to maintain the peaceful order, and there is much rich history here. I respect your view point and would love to give you a tour on the return trip."
They would however make it passed the halfway point. The rest of the trip was mostly small scattered villages of Snake people like the Princess. With some scatterings of Oni here and there, seemingly more like guards than anything else.
eventually they would reach the tail of the long winding stone like pathway of Snake Way to peer into the golden clouds at a small planet.
"That is the home of North Kai. He should have answers for your plight, though it is likely he knows everything about you, so don't be surprised."

She scrunched her nose wondering if it was everything, Like everything… everything? Or like the important stuff? Her lips stretched wide and the tendons in her neck pronounced thinking of her most embarrassing moments in life.
However it didn’t really need an answer and she would slide off the nimbus.
“Alright so we’ll need to know where the wayward souls have gone, who has them, and what we’ll need to do to get them back.” She looked to the others. “That’s pretty straightforward to right? I’ve not forgotten anything?”

Yagi stitches his brows together thinking the hardest he has in forever and Princess Snake nods with a smile.
"Yes, that sounds right. We can't step foot on his planet sadly, so this is where you will have to go alone."

“Oh…” she looked to his place and then back at her new found companions. She wouldn’t argue. This guy felt really important and this may have been custom. “Alright then… ah… I guess you two can go get comfortable near by. If all goes well I’ll hope to squeeze every bit of information about this ordeal from this guy.”
She would say and start her pacing past the end of the tail and across the platform. At the end she would lift in flight to reach it in a slow manner. Her vision would light to see energies and power levels. She was coming to another’s home so she was trying not to seem a threat and yet be weary of security systems or energies.

Rhona would find multiple power levels, though her concentration would likely be broken by the gravity suddenly increasing greatly when she got close to the planet. The small green planet with a single tree and as a round home complete with a motor cycle in a garage that led to a road which seemed to go entirely around the planet.
However she would find the strongest power level was around 30,000 inside the home, another power level at around 15,000 outside the home under the tree and two other power levels far lower around 300 a piece. Though they seemed to be IN the tree.

The gravity did surprise her she paused and really realized what it was. She threw her hands up and felt resistance. She did it again to feel it again. And again and even a fourth and fifth time. She pull of the planet and the resistance was heavy on her. It was like a full body weight suit or something.
“That’s amazing!” She chuckled and would fly to the power level’s near the tree. “Hello!” She called out.

Rhona would find Malum a female with purple hair long sharp ears and a tail, who was holding a banana up towards the tree. The woman would turn to Rhona confused for a moment.
"Oh, uhm. Hello? Wait... Are you a mortal?"
In the tree Rhona would be able to see an ape and a cricket.

“Yes, I’m Rhona, Rhona Hall.” She would get close and extend a hand in welcoming courtesy. “I’m from Earth and I was escorted by Yagi of the Oni and Princess Snake of the Snake clan. I volunteered to help them find a planets worth of missing souls.”
“What might your name be?” She smiled friendly looking at Melum with bright eyes.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Malum. I'm training here for a while to get up to snuff to be a planet Guardian. Your task sounds dangerous and interestin'. Hold on a second."
She would turn towards the house and take a deep breath.
"UNCLE NORTH! RHONA HALL IS HERE SHE NEEDS HELP!"
Her booming voice would cause the small planet to shudder a bit as the North Kai irritably walked out of the door.
"Please, Malum. This is a small planet, I heard everything through the window easily. I'm not like your father and can hear quite well..."
He would then brush off his hands before approaching Rhona and extend a hand to shake.
"As is your Earth Custom to shake hands on greeting someone, you may call me King Kai."

Her hand dropped when Malum was going on about everything for this exchange. The voice surprised her and she wondered just how strong those pipes were. Coming to think of it if Rhona felt the weight of herself in this place they were standing without noting it they both most be really powerful.
She searched them both up and down. Malum did not quite look like anyone she had ever seen before but neither did this King Kai. Malum did have a tail roughly similar to Maiz and Onyan.
The king Kai reach out his hand and she gave his an enthusiastic clap before wrapping her knuckles around his palm and shaking his.
“I was told you’d know about me. This is how I measure the strength of a person before I could see their energy with my own eyes. Now I just do it because I’d like to be surprised.” She nodded letting his hand go.
“It’s Good to meet you King Kai, sorry to have come across your… world?” She paused for a second sounding the question. “… on such short notice but I hope you can spare a moment of time to speak with me?”
She wanted to portray the same courtesy that she gave the previous king Yemma and princess snake

King Kai's grip was firm, but also warm. He would nod and turn to extend a hand towards the home. He would lead the way inside and to a dining table that could seat four. Draped with a hand made dining cloth and some old fashioned wooden plates, bowls, and drinking cups. Though the utensils were pretty modern he would pour a glass of ice water for himself.
"Water miss Hall? Oh, sorry you like being called Rhona. Political habits are hard to kick."
